It is all about expectations. A guide had told us before we arrived at Villa Laos that the place is very run down. It is true that the rooms are run down but we were prepared that it is not a five star hotel. The Cristal filtered water jug at the walkway looked like it had been refilled with tap... More

The accommodation is in chalets set in a large garden, with a small river running through. This was a good place for an early morning bird walk, with lots of species passing through the valley. The rooms were fairly basic, but had good air-con (Jaco is hot!). Food was decent, but not the best we had in Costa Rica. The... More

If you are into the flora and fauna of Costa Rica, this is a great place to stay. Beautiful grounds with a small river alongside. The accommodations were clean, roomy and the AC was a definite plus in the hot, humid climate. The food was fresh and tasty. If you are looking for a 5-star resort, this isn't it. It's... More

Quiet, reserved and very local in appearance. We were here for an afternoon, to do zip line in the surrounding forest. The two young fellows who ran the zip line were great. Helpful, attentive, fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. My husband especially like that he was the only male with six lovely ladies from the ship on tour with... More

We stayed here for three days in March. The rooms are reasonably sized with very good air con, bathrooms are a good size with a large shower and lots of hot water. Comfortable beds and very clean, the laundry service was quick and efficient. Food was perfectly acceptable but as a beer drinker I was disapointed , we were on... More

Set in amazing surroundings with a wealth of birdlife and other wildlife in the grounds, which are very extensive. The rooms are basic and the food is average. The whole complex is looking rather sad and in need of attention. With the natural assets it has, the hotel should be promoting guided hikes through its own grounds as well as... More

This hotel is situated in a river valley surrounded by forest and consists of single storey accommodation built in rows. Externally the buildings would benefit from some refurbishment but internally, although very simply furnished, adequately provide all essential facilities. Two large single beds, air conditioning and a large bathroom with a good shower providing ample hot water. A bench seat... More

We travelled to Costa Rica as part of SAGA's Jewels of South America holiday and our second hotel stay was at the beautiful Villa Lapas. As the coach meandered its way down, down a very steep hill we marvelled at the lush vegetation of the surrounding rain forest. We and our luggage were unloaded from the coach and we were... More

We stayed for three nights and found it quite relaxing. The rooms are simple - two rows of terraced cottages a short walk from the main building - but have all that is needed. The evacuation notice on the back of the door told us what to do in the case of earthquake, and the candles in the bedside cupboard... More
